Why do plants grow upwards?
They grow towards the light!
Why do plants grow up upwards?
Because they like to be stepped on!
Do all plants grow in the ground?
No. Plants can grow in other locations, like on walls or cliffs or underwater.
Plants are able to grow tall because their cells are rigid?
walls
Plants are able to grow tall because their cells have rigid?
walls
Do plants always grow upwards?
Not always. Juniper Tams also grow outward, and the Ivy plant grows along the ground.
Do plants grow better upside down?
No. Plants are designed for the roots to grow in the direction of gravity and the leaves to grow against gravity. A plant grown upside down will adapt by curving its stem upwards again.
Do plants grow downwards?
No, plants do not always grow downward. Plant roots always grow downward due to positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Plant shoots always grow upwards due to negative gravitropism or negative geotropism.
Can you grow tomatoes upside down vs the traditional method?
You can try but the plant will try to grow upwards. All plants grow up and their roots grow down. This is coded in their DNA.
What happens to a plant when the direction of gravity changes?
Most plants grow up, or away from gravity. Even vining plants will first grow upwards before they grow too long and start to vine. So, if a plant were subjected to a change in gravity...say, hung from an upside down pot...it would change it's growth direction to again grow away from gravity, growing upwards.
Why seeds can grow in water with calcium?
Calcium is in human bones. It is also used by plants to have strong cell walls. So it makes sense that plants would grow better if the water had some calcium.
Is the cell wall in the animal cell or the plant cell?
Animals only have cell membranes. Plants have both cell walls as well as cell membranes. This allows them rigidity to grow upwards against the pull of gravity whereas animals have either internal (endo)skeletons or external (exo)skeletons.
